Previously on Evil Inc…
Lightning Lady’s former henching partner, Angus the minotaur, returned — determined to tell her about his true feelings for her.
He gets a job at Evil Inc and quickly works his way up the ranks.
Currently, he’s working for the Lethal Librarian. When Lightning Lady appears on the doorstep of one of the librarian’s safehouses, he’s overjoyed.
They spend a wild night together.
This becomes a problem when the real Lightning Lady shows up!
Later, we learn that this doppelganger was a holdover from an earlier tryst with Marquis — a hench with interdimensional warp powers he had little control over.
Accused of being a corporate spy, Angus is banished by the bookish brawler.
NOW… Lightning Lady and the Lethal Librarian confront the interloper in their midst.
